Biological Sequence Analysis

The BSA is one of many working group proposals (RFPs and RFIs) from the LSR group of the OMG. It details objects for biological sequence analysis including Sequences, Alignments, and Assemblies. Most of the spec was implemented in BioPerl as part of the attempt to fully implement the standard for the BioCORBA project in Perl. It is used in the analysis engines at the EBI by Martin Senger in his openBSA implementation.
